The man was given his certification back and was hired, therefore they should have stuck behind their hire. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. This mess is weakining Ozen and some people don't seem to care!

Thats what i meant to say. He is the coach.

the Hebert Alum are the ones that seem to have an issue because they want what they feel is of the pear orchard community. parents want the most qualified. but they dont seem to have an issue with Atkins.

It my go on until BISD admin achieve there goal of trying to cause many withdrawls from ozen to central. WB will be next. this is what it seems to me. remember you heard it here first, ijs.

Seems to me that some people are correct in saying its the admins that are at fault here. In my opinion, Atkins wouldnt have withheld the truth for the simple fact of exactly what is happening. Obviously, the situation with him wasnt that bad or was fabricated by an angry student if they gave him his cred back and dropped all charges. In todays age, a teacher/coach is guilty until proven innocent when it comes to allegations like these. Could have been a complete lie. Now look what happened.....BISD looks like complete idiots and a Coach has been smeared all over the media. Im not sure if there is a solution to all this but can guarantee you that this wont end well for BISD and most importantly the kids.

NO!!! BISD admin counld care less. now I hear there is a small divide and/ or rift at ozen between Hebert Alum and the parents of the players on the team over who should, shouldn't be coach, quality and qualification of coach.

Depending on how long this drags out in court and in the news, what happens to the football program? Can he continue to work as the head coach and perform any of those duties if he was not fired? This type of behavior by all sides is not helping the community or the school. Does anyone really care about the football team much less the image this is sending to all.

I bet that is the real plan since BISD admin has ties, vested interest there, jmo. they could care less about WB or OHS.

I heard that the players at ozen are still not buy what chargois, ambress and others had to say. Also heard a parent was adamant about a certain coach that is at ozen, not be considered.

Accountability would be out of character for this Regime; requires responsible Adults. The reality of this is if the kids would have behaved as many of these people have, BISD would have the audacity to suspend/expel the kids for this sort of behavior & track record. SMH
2 Faced Liars!!!!!

its sad. I hear that morale was good with the new coach and now its very very low. I heard the players were told by the AD and Principal that they have their best interests at heart. The kids aint buying it. They feel that BISD don't care about Ozen.

My kids attend Ozen, so I won't report what I hear of what happened because I didn't attend the meeting. Don't want any misinformation hurting Our Ozen Family. I will give any information I'm privy to if I'm in attendance of any further meetings if there are any. Please pray for our kids & we will do the same for yours. Thanks for all of your interest & concerns.

I say we keep this thread on topic and leave the personal stuff out of it so someone doesn't lock this thread like they did the other one.  I'm really interested in seeing how this is handled.

if you want to find Jeff Nelson, just listen for the loud rumbles of laughter and you will find him.

ok, now we are done.

It was 3 players and it was one incident that was completely outside of football!

Memorial has the most as of right now, a bunch played in bowl games this past season.

Hmmmmm.........
 
Hearing some rumblings that could make this situation really ugly!
 
Stay tuned.

Word in the street is that Neal's friend didn't get a fair shot at the job because of the hiring process and went against his original decision (7-0 vote) to hire Atkins.

Witch hunt!!! The sad part is that you have no media outlets in your own communities to offset the onslaught of news whether true or false. Its the perceptions that are put out there on a constant basis to control your thinking to eventually sway you to the perceived "right" side, but in reality, you were already on the side of truth, justice & the american way.

I hope he proves you and the rest of the media people wrong!!

You have to take who you can get. Most of the people in Houston already knew about this. The argument back then was "Well, he didn't have to register and he got re-hired so it must not have been too bad". Fact of the matter is, there were only 14 applicants if I remember correctly. Sterling had like 70 and they've won like 3 games out of the last 30 or so. That should tell you where Ozen stands on the coaching radar. I'm not defending him but I thought this was common knowledge, especially to administrators. I've known of a teacher who had her liscense revoked for sending an "improper" text to a student, his was just suspended. I understand the uproar, but wouldn't the Panther faithful want his redemption story to be written in Beaumont? It's often better than the first act.
